11:26 pm

picture that our audience understands, we are not talking about gray areas here, these are modern day slaves, or even worse sex slaves. >> yes, we are talking about trafficking for all purposes. we are talking about a situation where people base -- or forced labor for a various numbers of issues. >> does the list include countries that turned a blind eye to child slavery? if so, what age are we talking about here? >> well, children are in slavery all around the world. whether in the cotton fields of uzbekistan or travel ed in to sexual slavery in thailand and malaysia. children as young as four and six can sometimes be found picking cocoa in ghana and other countries in west africa. even though there are many efforts young children are involved and put in to forces

11:27 pm

labor. >> these nine senators, why if the united states is this beacon of freedom is there a debate in this country about whether a country does or does not engage in human trafficking? >> i think that this issue has come up in -- at this time because of the trade debate that has been going on in washington. malaysia has been a country that has been taking steps all along but you don't really see any real change on the ground in malaysia. i think that's why the 19 senators and also a separate letter from 160 members of the u.s. house of representatives sent to the secretary of state carey saying don't undermine the tip report of the trafficking in persons report that you put out is so important to fighting slavery around the world if you don't tell the truth in it you'll weaken our leadership and ability to really create change. >> mr. robertson is there any doubt in your mind this is about

11:28 pm

politics and not necessarily about human rights and not lavery? >> it's quite clearly about politics in the united states. malaysia has nod improved their trafficking in in i way shape or form. we are still seeing the same problems in terms of trafficking, receiving very little support. that doesn't result in prosecution and exploitation of migrants or forced laborer sex trafficking or other major abuse. >> forget about governments for a second. let's talk bus. we all ofwe all have cell phones and like cheaper clothes. but are we looking the other way and are we to blame for much of what happens in these countrys? >> there is no question that the consumer demand for products and products at low price points is

11:29 pm

what it is fuel the need as the companies see it to try to find the cheapest possible labor. but the american people are willing to pay more than are more to have a product that is slave resisted or products that are made by companies that have zero tolerance, we all have to be aware of it. try to think about what we can do more and companies are slowly starting to respond and think about their supply chains and their responsibility to insure that consumers have choice on his products that if not slave free, there is a zero tolerance for. >> so let me push back for a second do you believe that the american public is going to develop that conscience and then demand change? because after all, we have been talking about this issue for years. >> well, i -- it's going slowly. i will say that in main

11:30 pm

companies, humanity united the company i work for engages with, they are trying to take it more seriously. it's in part because they are afraid of their brand but it's also in part because they are in a war for talent. and young people who are coming in to their companies want to work for companies who take these kinds of issues seriously. a am not saying that we are at the place where we need to be, but if you look at, for example the california supply chain's transparency act, there is a way of trying to create more transparency. also the president of the united states, president obama has also put forward a slave-free or trying to insure that there is no federal procurement that is involved in human trafficking. he's got a ways to go, we'll see how well it's implemented but those are very good signs that there is at least a start going on here. >> gentlemen, stand by for a second, i am going to give you something literally in that case to chew on. most of the seafood we eat comes from asia, but would you eat it

11:32 pm

restaurant. instead, they ended up far from home. they imagined to escape and are now hiding. >> translator: maybe some people on the boats wanted to be there but not me and not many of the others. they told me to accept my situation, but i couldn't i wanted to go home so badly. >> reporter: the fishing company used a prison cell to regularly lock up fishermen the desperation written on the walls fox, sure, i will get home one day, someone writes. if there is a way in, there is there should be a way out. and their way out has finally come. after listening to their testimonies government investigators decide to take them to a safer place. >> reporter: this just shows how desperate they are really are. as soon as the indonesian an government announced they were going to bring them to safety. they all emerged. more than 280. and more are still coming. they are leaving a life they recall as full of fear and horror and they are going a life

11:33 pm

of uncertainty but most importantly, they are going home. this is victims of human trafficking are only a small group of fishermen stuck in i wantindonesia, while he is excited to finally go home after four years, the fate of many others hangs in the balance. step vaessen, al jazerra east indonesia. >> then is this true is it true that there are more slaves now than ever before in human history? >> with the numbers that the international labor organization has put out of at least 21 million slaves at any one tile it seems that that is the case. there are more slaves now than ever. if you look at what, for example, going back to malaysia, in one of your setup pieces, there is an estimated 4 million migrants in malaysia and one u.k. expert has suggested that up to 30% of those 4 million migrants are in some sort of

11:34 pm

severe labor exploitation amount to go modern slavery. these are huge numbers and the pieces are -- cases are shocking. i totally agree with bill. these kind of numbers actually mass the painful experiences that people have. which is why we need to make sure that the trafficking persons report by the state department is an as an as possible so we can increase the awareness and get countries to do more about it. >> there are reports that i have seen and i am going stay with you for a second because we are work on this audio of mr. robertson, we have seen this in horror movies people bought and sold for their organs is there evidence that that is happening as well? >> i think there is evidence that that does happen, it's less purveys i ever or world why phenomenon. but there have been cases where there are indications that individuals are told that they are going to get some sort of medical procedure and then it turns out that there is organ

11:35 pm

trafficking. i think this is an area that is especially difficult to quantify. but there are in serious reports and ones that have been confirmed. >> fill robertson and david both of you thank you for being with us to our audience we apologize for the technical difficulties but the information was too important to ignore. on this week's third rail. another controvert i. does the u.s. criminal justice system favor the privileged. here is a preview. >> 97% of state prosecutors in it country are white. so up implicit bias that is built in to not only the prior offenses, and the convictions and the judges on the bench and how those people are actually defended in court, and then you get these three strikes and we know that we have in california a lot of people who were nonviolent offenders who haven't had been there doing the time that they were doing. that's why --

11:36 pm

>> i reject the notion just because i i am white that somehow i am bias, or just because you might be of another color or mixed. >> we all have implicit bias, all of us. >> i worked as hard as i could do make sure anything i did was equally visited on anybody who -- you look at the death penalty that his we carried out in california when i was attorney general, not a single one was carried on ute ought against someone that was a minor at this member they were carried out because they were white is that because i was biased against people that were white? no we look at the facts and the crimes and the horrendousness of the crimes and made those descensions . >> and you can watch the entire episode of third rail that airs tomorrow night at 6:00 p.m. eastern time, 3:00 p.m. pacific. donald trump saying senator john mccain's time as a vietnamese prison of war doesn't make him a hero. >> captured. i like people that weren't captured okay, i hate to tell you. >> the back lab lash from the republican party next.
